　　Intel will build new kinds of experiences for the 2018-2024 Olympic games using virtual reality, 5G cellular and drones, the chip maker announced. It becomes the thirteenth partner of the games and the fifth tech partner following Alibaba, GE, Panasonic and its closest rival, Samsung.

　　The events will showcase Intel’s work in a handful of emerging technologies including live streaming video with its 360-degree cameras, 5G and machine learning. As part of an event announcing the deal, Intel broadcast a video stream from its headquarters using one of its prototype 28 GHz 5G base stations.

　　Intel chief executive Brian Krzanich promised, “whole new ways fans and athletes can view and participate in the games…Around the world there are millions and millions of people who have never had a chance to go to the Olympics, and our goal is to bring it to anyone.

　　“This is not just about flops per watt in some device somewhere, it’s about changing the experience and bringing it to more people…[with] more compelling and immersive experiences,” he added.

　　The partnership makes sense for Intel at a time when the company is seeking an identity as a technology leader apart from the slumping PC. Krzanich has showcased the company’s work on VR, 360-degree video and drones regularly in past keynotes and professional sports events.

　　Burnishing the company profile is particularly strategic at a time of slowing growth and consolidation in the semiconductor industry. With the current rise in prices of memory chips, rival Samsung may surpass Intel this year for the first time as the largest chip maker in the world.

　　Intel’s 3D video, newly branded True VR, is one of the highlights of the deal. The company will bring the capability to 16 live and 16 on-demand games including ski jumping and figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

　　VR headsets let users choose angles from which they watch an event in stereoscopic 3D. It supports live streaming and digitally computing an angle such as hovering over a favorite player.

　　True VR uses a network of up to 38 360-degree cameras, each using a dozen high definition 5K cameras. Mobile production units stitch the streams into 180-degree images and uploads them t a data center for live streaming.

　　The Olympics marks an extension of the technology for Intel. It has already offered the capability at select NCAA basketball, National Football League and Major League Baseball events in the U.S.

Intel’s Next Gen CPU to Produce at TSMC with 3nm in First Half of Next Year

　　Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake platform has entrusted TSMC with the 3nm process of its CPU. This marks TSMC’s debut as the exclusive producer for Intel’s mainstream laptop CPU, including the previously negotiated Lunar Lake GPU and high-speed I/O (PCH) chip collaborations. This move positions TSMC to handle all major chip orders for Intel’s crucial platform next year, reported by UDN News.　　Regarding this news, TSMC refrained from commenting on single customer business or market speculations on November 21st. Intel has not issued any statements either.　　Recent leaks of Lunar Lake platform internal design details from Intel have generated discussions on various foreign tech websites and among tech experts on X (formerly known as Twitter). According to the leaked information, TSMC will be responsible for producing three key chips for Intel’s Lunar Lake—CPU, GPU, and NPU—all manufactured using the 3nm process. Orders for high-speed I/O chips are expected to leverage TSMC’s 5nm production, with mass production set to kick off in the first half of next year, aligning with the anticipated resurgence of the PC market in the latter half of the year.　　While TSMC previously manufactured CPUs for Intel’s Atom platform over a decade ago, it’s crucial to note that the Atom platform was categorized as a series of ultra-low-voltage processors, not Intel’s mainstream laptop platform. In recent years, Intel has gradually outsourced internal chips, beyond CPUs, for mainstream platforms to TSMC, including the GPU and high-speed I/O chips in the earlier Meteor Lake platform—all manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm node.　　Breaking from its tradition of in-house production of mainstream platform CPUs, Intel’s decision to outsource to TSMC hints at potential future collaborations. This move opens doors to new opportunities for TSMC to handle the production of Intel’s mainstream laptop platforms.　　It’s worth noting that the Intel Lunar Lake platform is scheduled for mass production at TSMC in the first half of next year, with a launch planned for the latter half of the year, targeting mainstream laptop platforms. Unlike the previous two generations of Intel laptop platforms, Lunar Lake integrates CPU, GPU, and NPU into a system-on-chip (SoC). This SoC is then combined with a high-speed I/O chip, utilizing Intel’s Foveros advanced packaging. Finally, the DRAM LPDDR5x is integrated with the two advanced packaged chips on the same IC substrate.

Intel’s CEO Envisions Over One Hundred Million AI PC Shipments in Two Years

　　On November 7th, Intel held its “Intel Innovation Taipei 2023 Technology Forum”, with CEO Pat Gelsinger highlighting the healthy state of PC inventory. He also expressed optimism about the injection of several more years of innovative applications and evolution in PCs through AI.　　Intel Aims to Ship over One Hundred Million AI PC within the Next Two Years　　Gelsinger expressed that the PC inventory has reached a healthy level, and he is optimistic about the future growth of AI PCs, which are equipped with AI processors or possess AI computing capabilities. He anticipates that AI will be a crucial turning point for the PC industry.　　Additionally, Gelsinger stated that the server industry may have seemed uneventful in recent years, but with the accelerated development of AI, it has become more exciting. AI is becoming ubiquitous, transitioning from the training phase to the deployment phase, and various platforms will revolve around AI.　　Gelsinger expressed his strong confidence in Intel’s position in the AI PC market, expecting to ship over one hundred million units within two years.　　Intel’s Ambitious Expansion in Semiconductor Foundry Landscape　　Intel is actively promoting its IDM 2.0 strategy, with expectations from the industry that the company, beyond its brand business, has advanced packaging capabilities to support semiconductor foundry operations. In the future, Intel is poised to compete with rivals such as TSMC and Samsung.　　Gelsinger noted that some have viewed Intel’s plan of achieving five technical nodes in four years as “an ambitious endeavor.” However, he emphasized that Intel remains committed to its original goal of advancing five process nodes within four years.　　The company’s foundry business has received positive responses from numerous potential customers, and while it may take three to four years for significant expansion, the advanced packaging aspect may only require two to three quarters to get on track.　　This transformation marks a significant shift for the company, setting new standards in the industry. Intel is making steady progress in its four-year plan to advance five nodes, and Moore’s Law will continue to extend. The construction of Intel’s new factories is also ongoing.　　According to Intel’s roadmap, Intel 7 and Intel 4 are already completed, Intel 3 is set for mass production in the latter half of this year, and Intel 20A and 18A are expected to enter mass production in the first and second halves of next year, respectively.

Israel Approves $185 Million Grant for Intel Fab

The Israeli parliamentary finance committee approved a $185 million grant to Intel in return for meeting job creation targets and local contract guarantees.Last May, Intel announced it would spend $5 billion over two years to upgrade its Fab 28 in Kiryat Gat, Israel, from 22nm to 10nm production technology.Israel's grant is conditional on Intel meeting its already announced commitment to hire 250 new staff at the fab, and on awarding contracts worth around $560 million to local suppliers.Earlier this month, Ann Kelleher, Intel’s senior vice president and general manager of manufacturing and operations, said the company was planning for manufacturing site expansions in Oregon, Ireland and Israel, with multi-year construction activities expected to start in 2019.In a blog post, Kelleher said, “Having additional fab space at-the-ready will help us respond more quickly to upticks in the market and enables us to reduce our time to increased supply by up to roughly 60%. In the weeks and months ahead, we will be working through discussions and permitting with local governments and communities.”Kelleher said it was part of the company’s strategy to prepare the company’s global manufacturing network for flexibility and responsiveness to demand. As part of this, the company is spending to expand its 14nm manufacturing capacity, made progress on the previously announced schedule for the Fab 42 fit-out in Arizona, and located development of a new generation of storage and memory technology at its manufacturing plant in New Mexico.Kelleher also said that Intel would also supplement its own manufacturing capability with selective use of foundries for certain technologies "where it makes sense for the business." The company had already been doing this but will do so more as it aims to address a broader set of customers beyond the PC and into a $300 billion market for silicon in cars, phones, and artificial intelligence (AI) based products.
